Bloodshot Eyes Lyrics

It's funny how the chaos feels so calm

How all the screaming is comforting to me

Like a blanket, I wrap myself in it

And the minute I consider an alternative, the instant I seek normalcy

All I see is pain, suffering, lack of purpose, lack of strength

So I blur it out

It's trite, but it's tried and true

But now I'm coming home to you

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

My heart is beating fast, it's pounding

And the loudest sound is sounding

I'm running far from home

Eradication of my thoughts approaching

The termination of the torture finally

Will come with release of the stone

Fading lights

Spinning eyes

God, won't you take me now?

Where are you?

I can't hear you

I'm all alone right now

I've been waiting for this moment my whole life

Waiting for the perfect time to take it back

Termination has never been the answer, but

No one ever took the time to ask

I've been waiting for this moment my whole life

Waiting for the perfect time to take it back

Termination has never been the answer, but

No one ever took the time to ask

Close your bloodshot eyes

They call it the coward's way out

I call it destiny

They say the pain is temporary

I say that they couldn't be more right

It's all in my hands

I have the power to execute my plans

So why can't I just swallow my pride and pull the trigger?

It's a race to the finish line

Me versus my thoughts versus my demons

They lick their lips and taunt me

Dig their feet into the dirt

Surrounded by hate

Overwhelmed for years but it's never too late

Motivated to incinerate, to lacerate, to medicate

Enter a sunken state

Fading lights

Spinning eyes

God, won't you take me now?

Where are you?

I can't hear you

I'm all alone right now

I've been waiting for this moment my whole life

Waiting for the perfect time to take it back

Termination has never been the answer, but

No one ever took the time to ask

I've been waiting for this moment my whole life

Waiting for the perfect time to take it back

Termination has never been the answer, but

No one ever took the time to ask

Close your bloodshot eyes

So

Here you are

At your breaking point

So shut your bloodshot eyes

You've been strong

But you can't go on

Just shut your bloodshot eyes

Oh

Fading lights

Spinning eyes

God, where am I right now?

Am I dead?

Or in my head?

Did I survive somehow?

I had waited for that moment my whole life

Just to find I don't want to take it yet

Termination was never the answer

But I wish I could've had someone to ask

All I want is to tell my story to

Anyone who would listen through and through

Feel the rage, feel the sadness, feel with me

But promise me, when you need help, ask

Open your bloodshot eyes

Open back up and live again
